    The original (2013 season) DS3 which was used by Hvaal was up for sale late last year.
    He has two titles now in RX. Why shouldn´t he go for two titles in WRC? (Know it sounds a bit crazy, but with Petter you never know, right?)

    Because a full WRC season is still a lot more expensive than a season in World Rallycross...

    (...and he is the best thing to happen to rallycross in a while, so we want him to stay!).

    Petter has already confirmed he will be doing more rallycross in 2016, with a potential Dakar drive in 2017:

    Because he doesn't have a VW? Also it seems to me that he enjoys rallycross far more than he did rallying, and it's almost certainly a damn sight cheaper.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    about Petter selling his RX-cars.

    He has something ready for next year, maybe contract with a factoryteam.

    From the article:
    "Do you already have an agreement with another manufacturer?- It may be so, but I can not go out with any info of the current state.
    If you are building a new car, well that work need to begin soon?
    - Well, if we are to build a new car then it is so.
    So you can end up in a factory team where you get a finished car?
    - So it may be.

    So what factory team could that be for Petter?
    And is it in the World or Global series?

    Or could it be; http://rallytakeover.kinja.com/pette...ale-1737612800

    I believe three continents is the minimum required by the FiA to class a Championship as "World".

    Yes, they changed it a few years ago. Though I'm sure North & South America are really 1 continent.
